Answer:

Current would decrease 9 times.

Explanation:

Assume all others (potential difference U, resistivity ρ, and length L) are the same, only change in the diameter, we would have the following ratio

\frac{I_1}{I_2} = \frac{U/R_1}{U/R_2} = \frac{U}{U}\frac{R_2}{R_1} = \frac{\rho L/A_2}{\rho L / A_1} = \frac{\rho L}{\rho L}\frac{A_1}{A_2} = \frac{\pi d_1^2/4}{\pi d_2^2/4} = \frac{4\pi}{4\pi}\left(\frac{d_1}{d_2}\right)^2 = 3^2 = 9

I_2 = I_1/9

So the current would decrease 9 times.

Answer:

please give me brainlist and follow

Explanation:

Formula for number of images formed by two plane mirrors incident at an angle θ is n = 360∘θ. If n is even, the number of images is n-1, if n is an odd number of images.

A hollow cylinder of mass 2.00 kg, inner radius 0.100 m, and outer radius 0.200 m is free to rotate without friction around a ho
Aneli [31]

Answer:

h=2.86m

Explanation:

In order to give a quick response to this exercise we will use the equations of conservation of kinetic and potential energy, the equation is given by,

\Delta PE_i + \Delta KE_i = \Delta PE_f +\Delta KE_f

There is no kinetic energy in the initial state, nor potential energy in the end,

mgh+0=0+KE_f

In the final kinetic energy, the energy contributed by the Inertia must be considered, as well,

mgh = (\frac{1}{2}mv^2+\frac{1}{2}I\omega^2)

The inertia of the bodies is given by the equation,

I=\frac{m(R_1^2+R^2_2)}{2}

I=\frac{2(0.2^2+0.1^2)}{2}

I=0.05Kgm^2

On the other hand the angular velocity is given by

\omega =\frac{v}{R_2}=\frac{4}{1/5} = 2rad/s

Replacing these values in the equation,

(0.5)(9.8)(h) =\frac{1}{2}*0.5*4^2+\frac{1}{2}*0.05*20^2

Solving for h,

h=2.86m

Consider a system of a cliff diver and the Earth. The gravitational potential energy of the system decreases by 25,000 J as the
salantis [7]

Answer:

568.18 N

Explanation:

From the question,

The formula for gravitational potential is given as

Ep = mgh........................ Equation 1

Where Ep = Gravitational potential, m = mass of the diver,h = Height.

But,

W = mg.................... Equation 2

Where W = weight of the diver.

Substitute equation 2 into equation 1

Ep = Wh

Make W the subject of the equation

W = Ep/h................... Equation 3

Given: Ep = 25000 J, h = 44 m

Substitute into equation 3

W = 25000/44

W = 568.18 N.

Hence the weight of the diver = 568.18 N
